[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-40770) Improved error messages for applyInPandas for schema mismatch

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-40770?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18012440#comment-18012440 ] 

Bill Schneider commented on SPARK-40770:
----------------------------------------

I'm still seeing a variation of this on Spark 3.5+ and 4.0, when I accidentally had the same field name repeated twice in the StructType.

Example

 
{code:java}
@pandas_udf(returnType=StructType([
    StructField("foo", DoubleType()),
    StructField("foo", DoubleType())]))
def calculate_udf_fail(input: pd.DataFrame) -> pd.DataFrame:
    return pd.DataFrame({
        "foo": input['foo']
   })
spark = SparkSession.builder \
    .appName("Test UDF") \
    .getOrCreate()

spark.sql("select 1 as foo").select(calculate_udf_fail(struct("foo")).alias("result")).show() {code}
Repeating the same column twice in the returnType's `StructType` causes this cryptic error

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: not all nodes, buffers and variadicBufferCounts were consumed. nodes: [ArrowFieldNode [length=1, nullCount=0]] buffers: [ArrowBuf[10], address:140498365661192, capacity:0, ArrowBuf[11], address:140498365661192, capacity:8] variadicBufferCounts: []

Of course if I have a duplicate field in the StructType (probably from copy-paste or Copilot) that's a problem I need to fix - but the error message gives no indication about the underlying issue.
